VALUE  OF  EXPERIENCE  IN  RATING  CERTIFICATES 


PRIMARY  AND   GRAMMAR  GRADE   CERTIFICATES   SECURED   BY 
RAISING  FROM  ELEMENTARY 

A  Primary  or  Grammar  Grade  Certificate  secured  by  raising  from  an  Ele- 
mentary by  summer  school  or  reading  circle  credits,  or  both,  entitles  the 
holder  to  the  salary  in  the  Primary  or  Grammar  Grade  Class,  which  is  next 
higher  than  that  to  which  she  would  have  been  entitled  under  the  Elementary 
Certificate. 

Example:  A  teacher  who  holds  an  Elementary  Certificate  of  Class  B  and 
has  had  four  years  of  experience,  would  be  entitled  under  the  Salary  Schedule 
to  $85  per  month.  If  this  certificate  is  raised  to  a  Grammar  Grade  of  Class  C, 
this  teacher  would  be  entitled  to  a  salary  the  first  year  of  $90  per  month, 
which  is  the  next  highest  salary.  The  salary  then  advances  with  each  addi- 
tional year  of  experience  until  the  maximum  salary  for  the  Grammar  Grade 
of  Class  C  is  reached. 

CERTIFICATES   RAISED  BY  EXAMINATION 

A  teacher  with  experience  on  a  certificate  of  one  class,  who  secures  a  higher 
certificate  by  examination,  is  entitled  to  the  next  higher  salary  attaching  to 
the  certificate  of  the  higher  class  than  that  to  which  she  would  have  been 
entitled   under   the   lower   certificate. 

Example:  A  teacher  holding  a  High  School  Teacher's  Certificate  of  Class  C 
stands  the  examination  and  secures  a  High  School  Principal's  Certificate. 
If  she  had  four  years  of  experience  on  the  lower  certificate,  she  would  have 
been  entitled  to  $105  per  month.  Her  salary  (if  teaching)  under  the  higher 
certificate  will  pass  the  first  year  to  $110,  and  will  increase  with  each  addi- 
tional year  of  experience  until  the  maximum  is  reached. 

CERTIFICATES  RAISED  BY  ADDITIONAL  TRAINING 

A  teacher  with  experience  on  a  certificate  of  one  class,  who  secures  a 
higher  certificate  by  additional  academic  training  (summer  schools,  extension 
courses,  or  regular  college  or  normal  school  work)  is,  under  the  Salary  Sched- 
ule, entitled  to  the  salary  attaching  to  the  certificate  of  the  higher  class,  which 
is  next  higher  than  that  to  which  she  would  have  been  entitled  under  the 
lower  certificate. 

Example  I:  A  teacher  holds  the  Elementary  Certificate  of  Class  B,  issued 
on  the  basis  of  High  School  Graduation  and  County  Summer  School  credits. 
She  has  had  four  years  of  experience.  The  salary  attaching  would  be  $85 
per  month.  She  secures  credit  for  four  approved  summer  schools,  and  raises 
the  certificate  from  the  Elementary  of  Class  B  to  Class  A.  The  salary  would 
pass  to  $90.00,  which  is  the  next  higher  rating  than  that  under  the  former 
certificate.  With  additional  experience,  there  is  an  accrual  in  the  salary  each 
year  until  the  maximum  for  the  class  is  reached,  and  there  it  remains  until 
the  class  of  the  certificate  is  again  raised,  when  the  same  regulation  again 
applies. 


4  The  Salary  Schedule  and  Classification  of  Schools 

Example  II:  A  person  completes  two  full  years  of  college  work,  including 
the  professional  requirements,  and  is  issued  the  High  School  Teacher's  Cer- 
tificate of  Class  C.  This  person  teaches  on  this  certificate  four  years,  reach- 
ing the  maximum  salary  for  this  class  of  certificate,  which  is  $105  per  month. 
She  then  returns  to  college  for  two  more  years,  completes  the  course  for  the 
regular  degree,  and  is  issued  the  High  School  Teacher's  Certificate  of  Class  A. 
The  salary  passes  to  $110,  which  is  the  rating  attaching  to  the  Class  A  Cer- 
tificate next  higher  than  that  under  the  Class  C  Certificate. 

EXPERIENCE   ON   SECOND   GRADE   CERTIFICATES 

One  year's  experience  on  a  Second  Grade  County  Certificate  shall  not  be 
counted  in  rating  teachers  as  any  experience  whatever,  and  such  teacher  shall 
receive  the  lowest  salary  in  the  class  in  which  the  certificate  falls. 

Two  years  experience  on  a  Second  Grade  County  Certificate  shall  be  counted 
the  equivalent  of  one  year's  experience  on  a  State  Certificate  of  the  class 
which  the  teacher  secures,  and  salary  rating  shall  be  fixed  accordingly. 

Teachers  of  three  or  more  years  experience  on  a  County  Second  Grade  Cer- 
tificate shall  be  rated  as  having  had  two  years  experience,  and  such  teacher 
shall  be  entitled  to  the  average  salary  in  the  class  in  which  the  certificate 
falls. 

EXPERIENCE   ON   OUT-OF-STATE   CERTIFICATES 

Teachers  with  out-of-State  experience,  on  a  certificate  issued  by  another 
state  and  recognized  by  the  State  Board  of  Education  as  a  sufficient  basis  for 
issuing  the  North  Carolina  State  Certificate;  or,  if  without  such  a  certificate, 
having  had  academic  training  sufficient  to  entitle  them  to  a  North  Carolina 
State  Certficate,  will  be  given  full  credit  for  such  experience. 

Teachers  with  out-of-State  experience,  not  on  a  certificate  recognized  by 
this  State,  nor  with  sufficient  academic  training  for  securing  a  North  Carolina 
State  Certificate,  will  be  rated  on  such  experience  as  set  out  above  for  Second 
Grade  teachers;  that  is,  one  year's  experience  will  count  as  no  experience; 
two  years  experience  will  count  as  one  year;  three  or  more  years  will  count 
as  two  years,  and  bring  the  salary  to  the  average  salary  for  the  class. 

EXPERIENCE   ON  LOWER  STATE   CERTIFICATES 

Teachers  having  had  experience  while  holding  certificates  of  the  follow- 
ing classes  will  receive  credit  for  such  experience  the  same  as  if  it  has  been 
on  a  Second  Grade  Certificate  (unless  the  certificate  was  issued  on  the  basis 
of  academic  credits  sufficient  for  the  Elementary  Certificate) :  Provisional  B, 
Provisional  A,  and  Temporary. 

EXPERIENCE   IN  PRTVATE   SCHOOLS 

Teaching  experience  in  private  schools  is  accepted  as  being  of  the  same 
value  as  teaching  in  the  public  schools.  This  does  not  apply  to  private 
tutoring,  but  only  to  regular  teaching  in  well  organized  private  institutions. 

PRACTICE   TEACHING  IN   COLLEGE   OR  NORMAL   COURSES 

This  is  considered  as  a  part  of  the  professional  credits  required,  and  is  not 
accepted  as  experience. 


The  Salary  Schedule  and  Classification  of  Schools 


DEPARTMENTAL   ASSISTANTS  IN   COLLEGE 

An  undergraduate,  assisting  in  some  department  of  the  college  while  pur- 
suing the  usual  course  for  a  degree,  will  be  given  no  experience  credit  for 
this  work. 

EXPERIENCE   AFTER   SECURING  ACADEMIC   CREDITS 

It  sometimes  occurs  that  persons  having  the  academic  and  professional 
credits  for  a  certificate  have  had  experience,  and  yet  hold  no  State  certificate. 
Two  common  examples  of  this  are  sufficient:  First,  teachers  in  private 
schools;  second,  teachers  in  other  states  whose  training  does  not  permit  the 
issuance  of  a  State  certificate  under  the  laws  of  that  state,  but  who  may 
secure  a  certificate  under  the  regulations  in  North  Carolina.  Many  states 
recognize  nothing  in  the  way  of  training  short  of  graduation.  They  issue,  for 
instance,  valid  certificates  to  graduates  of  their  two-year  normal  schools,  but 
will  issue  no  certificate  except  by  examination  to  a  person  finishing  three  and 
one-half  years  in  the  State  University.  In  such  cases,  the  rule  to  follow  is 
that  any  experience,  since  the  original  credits  on  which  the  certificate  was 
issued,  were  completed,  may  count  for  full  value  under  the  Salary  Schedule. 


CLASSIFICATION  OF  SCHOOLS 


I.      CITY   SCHOOLS 

The  city  schools  are  divided  into  two  classes  as  follows: 
Class  A: 

A  city  school,  having  thirty  or  more  teachers  and  maintaining  a  Group  I 
High  School,,  may  be  designated  as  Class  A,  and  may  be  allowed  a  Superin- 
tendent of  Class  A.     Maximum  salary,  $3,500. 

For  every  additional  twenty  teachers  one  supervisor  or  principal  may  be 
allowed.  Principals  and  supervisors  employed  in  city  schools  of  this  class, 
in  accordance  with  the  above,  are  classified  as  follows: 

Principals  : 

High  School. — Ten  full-time  high  school  teachers.  Devotes  full  time  to 
Administration  and  Supervision.  Holds  High  School  Principal's  Certificate. 
Salary — not  to  exceed  $2,400  per  annum. 

Elementary  School. — School  unit  of  twenty  or  more  teachers.  Full  time  to 
Supervision  and  Administration.  Holds  at  least  Primary,  Grammar  Grade 
or  High  School  Teacher's  Certificate  of  Class  A.  Salary — not  to  exceed  $2,000 
per  annum. 

A  part-time  supervisor  or  principal  may  be  allowed  if  the  number  of  teach- 
ers in  the  system  is  between  thirty  and  fifty,  at  a  salary  not  to  exceed  $1,800. 

Class  B: 

A  town  or  city  school  system  having  not  less  than  twenty  nor  more  than 
twenty-nine  teachers  and  maintaining  a  high  school  of  Group  I  may  be 
designated  as  Class  B,  and  may  be  allowed  a  superintendent,  at  a  salary  not  to 
exceed  $3,000. 

No  supervisor  or  principal  will  be  allowed  for  schools  of  this  class.  How- 
ever, teachers  in  charge  of  buildings  may  be  allowed  10  per  cent  more  than 
salary  as  a  teacher  because  of  the  extra  administrative  duties. 

Supervisors  : 

A  supervisor  is  defined  as  one  who  may  be  employed  to  supervise  all  the 
teachers  of  a  section  of  a  school  system,  such  as  the  Primary  or  Grammar 
grades. 

Principals  : 

A  principal  is  defined  as  one  who  may  have  the  supervision  and  adminis- 
tration of  a  school  unit,  such  as  the  high  school  or  an  elementary  school  unit 
of  one  or  more  buildings. 

Special  Teachers: 

Teachers  who  supervise  the  instruction  in  special  subjects,  such  as  writing, 
public  school  music,  drawing,  etc.,  will  be  classified  as  teachers  of  specal  sub- 
jects, and  may  be  employed,  provided  they  come  within  the  total  number  of 
teachers  permitted  under  the  attendance  requirement. 


The  Salary  Schedule  and  Classification  of  Schools  7 

Physical  Education: 

Counties  are  not  required  to  provide  for  directors  of  Physical  Education  in 
city  schools  unless  arrangements  are  made  for  the  director  to  supervise 
Physical  Education  in  the  county  schools. 

II.      HIGH   SCHOOLS 

Definition. — A  school  unit  not  qualifying  as  a  city  school  under  the  above 
classification,  but  maintaining  a  standard  high  school,  may  be  designated  as 
a  high  school  unit;  that  is,  a  system  containing  both  Elementary  and  High 
School  departments,  and  the  principal  of  the  high  school  should  be  the  admin- 
istrative officer  of  the  entire  school  unit. 

Attendance  Requirements. — Three  teachers  may  be  employed  in  the  High 
School  Department  for  the  first  forty-five  pupils  in  average  daily  attendance: 
Provided,  a  four-year  high  school  course  is  to  be  maintaned.  One  additional 
high  school  teacher  may  be  employed  for  every  additional  twenty-five  pupils 
in  average  daily  attendance. 

In  providing  for  high  school  instruction  in  the  future  it  will  not  be  wise 
for  superintendents  to  plan  for  two  high  schools  in  the  same  township  or  two 
high  schools  within  about  five  miles  of  each  other,  unless  the  number  of  pupils 
in  each  is  great  enough  to  justify  a  standard  high  school  of  the  highest  class 
in  each.  The  cost  of  multiplying  small  high  schools  located  close  together 
is  too  great.  Superintendents  can  transfer  high  school  pupils  from  schools 
within  a  radius  of  five  miles  and  more,  reduce  the  cost  of  running  the  school, 
and  provide  better  high  school  instruction.  While  this  does  not  apply  to 
counties  not  drawing  from  the  Equalizing  Fund,  but  only  to  those  expecting 
aid  from  the  State,  it  would  be  wise  for  all  counties  to  follow  this  rule  at  this 
time  when  we  are  at  the  beginning  of  building  rural  high  schools.  If  the 
counties  persist  in  locating  small  high  schools  close  together  with  high- 
salaried  principals,  it  may  be  necessary  for  the  State  to  estimate  the  number 
of  teachers  required  to  give  proper  high  school  instruction  to  all  high  school 
pupils  of  a  township  or  of  a  given  area  and  allow  salaries  from  the  Equalizing 
Fund  for  only  one  principal  and  a  sufficient  number  of  teachers  based  on  the 
number  of  high  school  pupils  enrolled.  This  will  not  affect  many  counties  at 
present  but  it  will  be  a  guide  to  county  superintendents  in  building  high 
schools  for  the  future. 

Certificate  Requirements. — All  principals  of  high  schools  of  Groups  I  and  II 
must  hold  the  High  School  Principal's  Certificate  in  order  to  receive  the  sal- 
aries specified. 

All  principals  of  Group  III  must  hold  at  least  the  High  School  Teacher's 
Certificate  of  Class  A. 

High  schools  of  Groups  I  and  II  employing  principals  holding  the  Tempo- 
rary High  School  Principal's  Certificate  may  receive  the  salary  of  principals 
in  the  next  lower  group,  provided  that  principals  without  experience  may 
receive  not  more  than  $1,800. 

Annual  Salaries  Based  on  School  Term  of  Nine  Months. — All  salaries  of 
principals  and  supervisors  mentioned  in  this  classification  are  based  on  a 
school  year  of  nine  months.  Where  the  school  term  is  less,  the  annual  salary 
will  be  proportionately  less.

Class  B  is  an  accredited  High  School,  maintaining  a  four-year  course,  hav- 
ing not  less  than  an  eight  months'  term,  with  three  whole-time  high  school

One  Principal — Class  B — Salary  not  to  exceed  $2,000. 

Group  III: 

Class  A,  or  a  Nonstandard  Scliool,  is  an  unaccredited  High  School,  having 
at  least  three  high  school  teachers,  and  maintaining  a  four-year  course  for 
a  term  of  not  less  than  eight  months. 

One  Principal — Class  C — Salary  not  to  exceed  $1,800. 

Class  B,  or  a  Certified  High  School,  is  one  employing  two  high  school  teach- 
ers, and  maintaining  a  three-year  course  for  a  term  of  not  less  than  eight 
months. 

One  Principal — Class  D — Maximum  salary  $1,600. 

Class  C,  or  a  Recognised  High  School,  employing  one  high  school  teacher, 
and  maintaining  a  two-year  course  for  a  term  of  not  less  than  eight  months. 

One  Principal — Class  E — Maximum  salary  $1,500. 

III.      ELEMENTARY   SCHOOLS 

Classification. — Rural  Elementary  Schools  not  qualifying  as  high  schools 
under  above  classification  and  conducted  as  independent  units  of  a  county 
system,  may  be  classified  as  follows: 

1.  One  administrative  unit  of  fifteen  or  more  teachers  and  one  principal. 
Salary  $1,800. 

2.  One  administrative  unit  of  ten  or  more  teachers.  One  principal.  Salary 
$1,500. 

3.  One  unit  of  from  three- to  ten  teachers.  One  principal.  Salary  10  per 
cent  more  than  as  teacher  in  the  grades. 

Attendance  Requirements. — In  apportioning  the  Equalizing  Fund  for 
1922-23,  two  teachers  will  be  allowed  for  forty  pupils  in  average  daily  attend- 
ance   (two  teachers  may  be  allowed   for   an   average   of  thirty-eight  pupils 


The  Salaky  Schedule  and  Classification  of  Schools  9 

attending  daily  in  counties  drawing  from  the  Equalizing  Fund  where  the 
average  number  of  pupils  per  teacher  is  as  high  as  the  average  in  counties 
not  drawing  from  the  Equalizing  Fund)  ;  three  teachers  for  sixty-five  pupils  in 
average  daily  attendance;  and  four  teachers  for  one  hundred  pupils  in  aver- 
age daily  attendance;  and  one  additional  teacher  for  every  thirty  pupils  in 
average  daily  attendance. 

Moreover,  in  apportioning  the  Equalizing  Fund  for  1922-23,  due  regard  will 
be  given  to  the  number  of  pupils  in  average  daily  attendance  per  teacher 
in  those  counties  that  do  not  participate  in  the  Equalizing  Fund,  and,  so  far  as 
practicable,  the  same  standard  shall  be  maintained  as  to  the  number  of 
teachers  allowed  in  those  counties  that  draw  from  the  Equalizing  Fund,  and 
the  State  funds  will  be  apportioned  accordingly. 

By  a  proper  classification  of  pupils  and  by  transferring  the  students  of  the 
sixth  and  seventh  grades  in  the  small  one-room  schools  to  some  better 
equipped  school  in  the  township,  it  is  possible  to  make  forty  pupils  in  average 
attendance  the  minimum  basis  for  employing  two  teachers,  and  counties  are 
advised  to  adopt  this  policy.

SALARY  SCALE  FOR  COLORED  TEACHERS 


The  schedule  of  salaries  for  Negroes  is  suggested  in  order  to  secure  fair 
compensation  for  them.  In  a  majority  of  cases,  if  the  superintendents  follow 
this  suggested  schedule,  the  Negroes  will  receive  compensation  equal  to  other 
teachers  whose  training,  service,  duties,  and  responsibilities  are  the  same  as 
theirs.  On  this  account  it  is  necessary  that  the  best  Negro  teachers  shall  be 
fully  rewarded  for  their  services,  that  all  may  have  an  incentive  to  improve 
themselves  professionally.
